It also identified (1) the key actors, (2) the needs of the communities, (3) the bottlenecks to be addressed in order to unlock the value chains of the biofortified crops in the country and prioritize interventions that needed to be implemented, (4) the main policies, strategies and plans in place that favored biofortification, and (5) areas for policy engagement. This advocacy strategy for scaling up of biofortification for nutrition security in Tanzania is informed by the outcomes and recommendations of the situation analysis.
